South Yorkshire Sailing Club

South Yorkshire Sailing Club

South Yorkshire Sailing Club sail on Morehall Reservoir in the Ewden Valley, near the village of Bolsterstone on the North Western outskirts of Sheffield.
The Reservoir is situated in beautiful countryside and yet is only half a mile from the main Sheffield to Manchester road (A6102). The bankside facilities include a clubhouse with licensed bar, kitchen and changing rooms.

Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings are the main sailing sessions when racing is organised. On Wednesday evenings, after racing, most people stay on at the club for supper and a drink at the bar, (low alcohol/non alcoholic drinks are available).
Visitors are welcome on sailing days to talk with us, perhaps go for a sail and get to know us.
